I really wish you’d stop mincing words and just say it like it is. 🤨f***ing diplomat

Bass into zoom b2 into bc250 into phones

I bought a custom bass made just for me and communicated only by PM It worked out fine

As I said to him “you totally sent me back to school” and fair play he is more talented and clearly practices a lot more 👍

Maybe you should play something else. Blues perhaps, for variety.

Had a great quick play thru in the hallway with guitarist and cajon player - okay for next time uber talented double bass player stole the show thereafter sanctuary is being played on an acoustic and cajon so really going to need to know it. Guitard thinks it’s all eighths but there’s quite a few twiddly bits. I find his acoustic “gentle”version quite hard to follow and I’m also nervous that my Stingray might rather sonically stamp over him and Mr Cajon he’s chosen D, some weird voicing of C ** and regular G so the chords actually sound quite similar c7 possibly, with b string C played as open b and g fretted on E string. The work of Satan obviously

I fell asleep driving on the m62 in a Montego true story

At the gate in Coalville about to learn “she sells sanctuary” on the fly, small beer to you talented types but a huge step for me

TBH I’m now quite attracted by the idea of a highway 1 jazz with a maple neck

Agree actually over £75o is a red line for me

I’ll never be able to afford or justify a super-expensive fender

I would’nt mind paying 549 for a “real” fender

Another Jeff healey?

Say it like the locals do. You’re right about Reading in England

Going to one tonight, I shall report

(thanks)

You’re quite right @Bass4real the place called Reading, UKis pronounced Redding London isn’t spelled Lundun Worcestershire also fails British English spelling makes little sense And I mostly blame the Romans

IIRC From the French verb savoir, meaning “to know” I am also a savant, not yet sure of what exactly yet though ….

Was that an auto-correct of “bagpuss”?

Yes i had one on a @Prosebass which the post office smashed despite nuclear war-proof packing he kindly made me another

And the deaf penalty. as in, being deaf would prevent you hearing them and so actually helpful

I do partly agree, playing bass is a mentality that your part is a piece of the whole cake, not the entire cake in and of itself. I think that’s why guitarists don’t nail it, they can’t take a step back backwards. Whereas bass players are more able to step out of the box occasionally

Yes, @Bluewine has got the hang of our humour now (he’s in Milwaukee, I think) and @dclaassen is resident here. You’ll get us soon enough, banter is always heavily cultural and IME pubs are different to US bars in some ways so some of the pub content may be a little opaque to you.

Come along, bring @Bluewine perhaps
